Does Jesse still hate Walt in the end? In the final scenes, Jesse refuses to kill Walter when handed a gun, and being fully aware that Walt was responsible for Jane's death, he parts ways with him; forgiveness is ambiguous.
Jesse shows his love for Walt through simple, often under-noticed deeds. Giving him a birthday present when nobody else cared to. Apologizing for threatening his life even when both the characters and the audience know, deep down, that Walter is deserving of death.
The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
I think Jesse just realized that Walt actually saved him. They both betrayed each other, but they made peace at the end. They knew that the other had to go through a lot and lose so many things, so the score was a draw.
At the last minute he sees that Jesse is not in partnership but captive. He sees that Jesse has been through enough, and decides to save his life (plus Jesse doesn't need to die to protect the family at this point, like he needed to when Walt first started plotting jesse's death).

Does Jesse still hate Walt in the end?
Does Jesse still hate Walt in the end? In the final scenes, Jesse refuses to kill Walter when handed a gun, and being fully aware that Walt was responsible for Jane's death, he parts ways with him; forgiveness is ambiguous.
Nope. Walt absolutely destroyed Jesse's life. He did unforgivable things to Jesse, such as letting his girlfriend die and poisoning his other girlfriend's son just to manipulate Jesse. If you take a closer look at the last couple of scenes of Walt and Jesse together, you can clearly see that Jesse is a changed man.
While Jesse is constantly searching for acceptance and his place in the world, Walt seeks acknowledgment, admiration, and someone to follow his lead, which he finds in Jesse. Though their relationship frays over time, it nevertheless forms the emotional crux of Vince Gilligan's nuanced world.
Jesse Pinkman's post-Breaking Bad fate is detailed in El Camino, where he escapes the Brotherhood's compound and starts a new life in Alaska after paying for a disappearing service. Skyler White's future looks bleak even with Walt's death.
It's not until Walt looks his former student in the eye and sees him beaten, broken, and in chains that he realizes this isn't what he wanted for him. Even Gilligan himself admits that until that very moment, Walt was going to kill Jesse along with the rest of them.
This moment is often interpreted as the spiritual death of Walter White. In Jesse's final scene, he is behind the wheel of the truck, trying to make the escape that Walter couldn't, and we see him laughing / crying maniacally in a way that is unmistakably similar to Walter earlier in the series.
The finale ends with Jesse laughing hysterically as he drives away from the Nazis' compound. What happens next? Breaking Bad leaves Jesse's future as an open-ended question, but both Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul think he has a brighter future on the horizon.
His tears could be a manifestation of guilt and regret for his actions. Grief: Walter had developed a relationship with Jane, and her death would have been a significant loss for him.
After realizing that it was Walt who poisoned Brock, Jesse went ballistic. He wanted to bring Walt to justice, even if it meant he has to confess to everything he had done up until that point as well. As a response to this betrayal, Walt put a hit out on Jesse's head.
Unfortunately, that means Jesse's life progressively becomes worse as he sticks with Walt. Walt begins to bully Jesse, realizing that he can easily take advantage of him and use shame as a tactic to make Jesse bend. Picking on Jesse gives Walt confidence even though Jesse is still just a teenager.
Nielsen's SVOD Content Ratings service found the film drew an average minute audience of 6.5 million, with 2.6 million of that coming on its October 11 opening day.
Throughout Breaking Bad, Jesse finds himself constantly suffering as a result of his involvement in Walter's business. He's beaten, nearly killed multiple times, imprisoned, and suffers severe anxiety and depression as a result of his experiences.
He was mortally wounded in the process, but the event allowed Jesse to break free. Seeing as El Camino picked up moments after Breaking Bad's final episode, Jesse was still 25. In fact, the character's actions to acquire a new identity occurred while he was on the brink of turning 26 years old.
While working together, they became friends too. But were they real friends? Walt and Jesse had a volatile relationship. One minute they were saving each other's lives and the next minute, they didn't want to see each other. There's a bigger case for them being frenemies than real friends.
To me hanks final words to Walt about him being the smartest person he ever met conveyed that he knew he was going to die and that he was somewhat at peace with Walt. He must have at last realized a bit that Walt wasn't the cold hearted sociopath he thought he was...

In the next episode Jesse tells Walt that he things Mike is dead and mentions that “walt would have to look over his shoulder if Mike was alive…” this dialogue is referring back to the shot over Walt's shoulder. that's how Jesse knows.
